The first nail polish I ever bought is trending again for winter—here's how I'm wearing it now I'm in my 30s

Silver nails.

I've always considered myself a typical 'girly-girl'—someone who has also been into make-up and beauty from a young age. And one of my very first fascinations was a silver nail polish from Rimmel nail polish that my Mum let me buy with my saved-up pocket money—it became my signature polish. It was super hi-shine with a chrome finish, and I wore it on my toenails in all its metallic glory (remember, it wasn't allowed to paint your fingernails for school!) for as long as I can remember.

Now in my thirties, little has changed: in fact, silver nails are back in all forms. These days, I'll dabble with a bit of metallic nail art or a touch of sparkle, for example, rather than just going all-over, straight-up silver. It's a colour that suits everybody and can be worn so many different ways, especially during festive party season. In fact, I'd go as far to say it's the ultimate hue for Christmas and/or New Year's Eve, no matter what colour your outfit it (although I have to say, navy blue works like a dream).
